What happened when 12 volts was applied to the coil?
The coil showed an almost violent response when 12 volts was applied — it was very volatile and heated up quickly, demonstrating the intense magnetic forces at play. Related terms: pulse motor coil test 12V.
Why did the coil get so hot during the experiment?
The coil heated up rapidly due to the high current flow through the wire. Papa Bale notes he may need to use the right gauge wire for experimentation to manage heat buildup. Related terms: ferrite core magnet coil.
Did the double coil setup behave differently?
Yes — the double coil was tested at 12 volts and showed similar volatile behavior. The current had trouble passing through the whole loop, which affected the performance. Related terms: coil heat buildup experiment.
What was the outcome of the floating coil test?
When held in a floating position near the magnetic field, the coil jumped and responded magnetically. Papa Bale noted the effect was working, though heat remained a limiting factor. Related terms: floating coil magnetic response.
What is Papa Bale planning next for his pulse motor?
He's waiting on reed switches and discs with 5/8-inch center holes so he can use bearings. Once those arrive, he plans to continue building out his pulse motor setup. Related terms: solenoid coil voltage test.
